For the Jin merchants, Li Tianyang's taste of waiting is also a little complicated, he forgot which book he saw in later generations, or from a post on the Internet, which said that the Jin merchants were able to flourish in the entire Qing Dynasty, but it was precisely because in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, these Jin merchants secretly smuggled heavy weapons in the army for the Later Jin Jurchen people, betrayed all kinds of military intelligence of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and even went into battle in person to buy the officers and soldiers at the border for the Later Jin people and inquire about intelligence.

It is precisely because of the existence of these traitors that the Houjin people have always maintained the initiative over the Ming officers and soldiers on the battlefield in Liaodong, and at the same time, they do not have to be troubled by their lack of military resources and armaments in the Houjin.

Of course, Li Tianyang, who traveled to the Ming Dynasty, may not have believed these unconfirmed historical news, but this soon did not prevent him from having an opinion about the Jin merchants.

It's a pity that Li Tianyang's team's tentacles are not long enough now, and they can't reach to Liaodong, which is thousands of miles away, to understand whether the research of later generations is true. And when it comes to Li Tianyang's current status, he will not react inappropriately because of the momentary likes and dislikes in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Xiang asked this question well, I said so much earlier, in fact, in the final analysis, I just hope that everyone can unite and work with me to change the current situation on the ocean, which can be regarded as reducing some obstacles for everyone's own business." Li Tianyang smiled and said very sincerely to all the guests present.

"Hehe, Hall Master Li is now a tyrant in the South China Sea, and he actually said such a thing, I have to let us all wonder, which play are you going to play, is it possible that you still want us businessmen to be like you, playing with these things such as fighting and killing, even if you are willing, we don't have the guts!" The shopkeeper Xiang's tone was not good, and he replied in a strange manner: "Not to mention, in the past few years, you Hongtang have used the name of tolls to make a lot of money from all of us, otherwise how can you raise so many subordinates!" ”

"Shopkeeper Xiang said this, it seems that we Hongtang have a lot of grievances, but soon don't forget, the fees charged by our Hongtang are only a tiny part of your property trafficking, and what we Hongtang has given you is far more than the security that can be exchanged for this effort." Li Tianyang's face turned pale, and he stared at Xiang Yuqing with a serious face: "If the shopkeeper Xiang thinks that the fee charged by my Hongtang is too high, your Changyu fleet can not go to our Hongtang's territory, and we don't force it." ”

Seeing that the conversation was at an impasse, Lu Bingyan, who was sharp-eyed on the side, quickly stood up, picked up his wine glass and snorted haha: "Hall Master, I don't think this is what Shopkeeper Xiang meant, in fact, even I am very curious, what do you want to say after you say so much?" ”

In the face of Lu Bingyan's inquiry, Li Tianyang naturally didn't want to put on a face anymore, turned around and put on a smile again to solve Lu Bingyan's doubts, and explained to everyone present: "Although we Hongtang have now cleared out most of the pirates on the ground in the South China Sea except for the Ryukyu Sea, to be honest, the quiet situation in the South China Sea is not something that our Hongtang family can maintain." As the saying goes, one person is short, two people are long, we Hongtang has limited energy, and I don't know if there will be a strong Western opponent like the Dutch to harass and attack our Daming Sea Frontier in the future, so I hope to unite everyone and formulate a long-term team, preferably to extend the maritime standards, through everyone's propaganda and self-implementation, to bring everyone a safer maritime environment. ”

"Oh, this is a good thing, it's rare for you to look so far ahead, but it makes us old guys ashamed!" Lu Bingyan, who has entered his fifties, has inevitably seen a bit of decline in his appearance, and even his hair has a lot of gray, at this time he made fun of himself, but he reactivated the atmosphere of the banquet.

"Let me give you a thorough explanation, in the next three months, our Hongtang Whale Department will make an all-out attack on the west of the Ryukyu Islands to the waters around our current Huludao, and completely wipe out all the pirates who have been entrenched in this sea area for many years. After the end of this wave of our Hongtang offensive, our Hongtang can be regarded as completely controlling the entire South China Sea, and then go east, that is the territory of the Japanese people. The powerful domineering spirit displayed in Li Tianyang's words at this time is the temperament that a hero should have now.

"Yo, what a big breath, this hasn't started yet, Hall Master Li has already treated us guys as nothing, brothers, do you agree?" As soon as Li Tianyang's voice fell, a neutral voice suddenly appeared on the side of this corner, provoking a group of people to coax.

More than a dozen voices responded to the owner of this voice, and Li Tianyang could guess without looking at it that the person who spoke was also invited by Li Tianyang to participate in this dinner, and a group of pirates with extraordinary strength from the Ryukyu Seas, Gong Zhuyi. Even the men who followed Gong Zhuyi to coax were basically from several other groups of pirate masters in the Ryukyu Seas.

Li Tianyang dared to expose this military action plan that should have been in the secret stage in front of Gong Zhuyi and them, and his confidence was naturally Hong Tang's strong strength.

"I know that Gong Da is waiting for him, and he is not convinced by the other masters here, but you have to admit the fact that our Hongtang is indeed much more stressful than all of you, unless you all go back and join forces at this time, maybe there is still a chance to fight with us." The momentum of looking at the world may be how much Li Tianyang looks in front of everyone now, and his strong self-confidence made Li Tianyang even begin to give advice to Gong Zhuyi and them: "But having the power to fight does not mean that you can defeat us, strength is the last word, with the alliance you have temporarily matched, there are constant intrigues and other dirty things, if you want to really defeat our Hongtang, it is simply impossible." ”

"Therefore, I have thought of three paths for all of you: First, it is natural that you join our Hongtang and become one of us, so there is no such hostility. You should also have seen and understood that our Hongtang treats every member of the team equally, and their families and relatives have also been well taken care of in our Jilong Harbor, and they no longer have to watch the sky to eat, and they will be hungry as before. ”

Seeing the disapproving expressions of Gong Zhuyi and the others, Li Tianyang also knew that if Gong Zhuyi and the others wanted to join Hongtang, they would not wait until now, but when he said this, he still had a trace of illusion: "Of course, I know that you who are in charge of Gong Da have lofty ambitions, and we Hongtang may not be able to enter your eyes, so I will prepare the second choice for all of you, that is, you go back now, Prepare for battle as soon as possible, five days later, we Hongtang will send 5,000 troops and 50 warships to the Ryukyu Seas, and I can be regarded as a war letter to you in advance here! ”

"You, who are you bluffing, come on, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield, let everyone see who is the warrior of the South China Sea!" It was obvious that the color was very inward, and after that, Gong Zhuyi was about to leave on the spot.

Although the action and tone are very strong, even if Gong Zhuyi is somewhat prepared in his heart, but soon in the face of Li Tianyang's naked killing machine at this time, it is inevitable that he will be a little panicked and apprehensive in his heart, after all, Hongtang's military parade today has made them see what is called a hundred battle heroes, what is called elite, if it is not necessary, who is willing to go against Hongtang, a behemoth, but now in the public, even if he is convinced, Gong Zhuyi can't erase that face and tell Li Tianyang to forgive.

"Alas, Gong Da is in charge, why is he so arrogant, doesn't this Hall Master Li still have this third suggestion, why don't you listen to the third suggestion of this Hall Master Li before making a decision?" It was Lu Bingyan who stood up, gently grabbed Gong Zhuyi, who was angry, and gave him a step down, which made Gong Zhuyi sit down half-pushed.

Li Tianyang smiled gratefully at Lu Bingyan quietly, although his tone was tough, but in fact, the reason why Li Tianyang invited Gong Zhuyi and them to participate in these banquets was naturally not to give Gong Zhuyi and them a war letter: "Of course, we Hongtang will not do immoral things, although our starting point is for everyone's sake in the future, but after all, it still violates the interests of your leading team, to put it bluntly, you are actually forced by life to be pirates, so I also thought of the third strategy here, That is, you Ryukyu pirates signed an alliance agreement with us Hongtang, that is, we Hongtang will reserve a territory for you to live freely in the Ryukyu Seas, just like the Pirate Free Zone in the western waters of Qiongzhou today. ”

"This territory can be the territory controlled by several of your teams now, and we will not easily invade your territory, the only requirement for you is that you must not attack and loot and hang our Hongtang logo, and we will protect the Du 3 fleet by Hongtang."

As soon as Li Tianyang's suggestion came out, the eyes of several of the leaders of the pirate gang lit up, and they couldn't help but be moved, but in fact, there were still cautious people among them who raised their worries: "Then if the fleets in our sea area are protected by you, then don't we still have to drink the northwest wind?" ”

"You can rest assured, since our Hongtang has damaged your interests, then we will also compensate you. Every month, one-tenth of the income of our Hongtang Whale Department will be shared, and it will be shared by the team that has signed an alliance agreement with our Hongtang, so that your losses will naturally be compensated. Li Tianyang played a trick here, and did not divide the entire income of Hongtang into one, but divided it into three, although it seems to be worthless, but in fact, the price paid by Li Tianyang and them is not big.

Hearing Li Tianyang's arrangement here, even Gong Zhuyi, who almost turned his face with Li Tianyang just now, was very moved, and couldn't help but calculate the gains and losses of doing so in his heart.
